Washington, D.C.: Phyllis Schlafly Eagles President Ed Martin will testify in a Congressional Field Hearing today on January 6th hosted by Congressman Matt Gaetz.
“For two years, Congress and corrupt executive agencies have abused their federal power to imprison and persecute Americans for their political opinions,” said Ed Martin, president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. “To that end, they’ve worked effectively with their Big Media partners to suppress the truth about that fateful day and publicly shame and censor anyone who would dare to speak up.
“Congressman Gaetz and his House colleagues in the 118th Congress are a desperately needed change at the federal level. They are hard at work to expose the facts surrounding the events of January 6, 2021, and the resulting treatment of American citizens. Our fellow countrymen have been abused, bankrupted, and tossed in a dark hole by a weaponized federal government.”
“We need accountability now!” Martin concluded. “I am pleased to give testimony at today’s hearing, and advance the truth. Americans need transparency more than ever if we are to restore faith in our representative republic.”
